Working abroad
We should normally be open about our intentions when entering countries to work.
Any proposal to use a tourist visa to avoid visa restrictions and to enter and work for the BBC in that country, should be referred to a senior editorial figure, or for Independents to the commissioning editor, who may consult Controller Editorial Policy.
When use of a tourist visa in this way is approved, Newsgathering and the Head of the relevant World Service region should also be informed.
